Shapiro revealed that President Joe Biden reached out to him following his withdrawal from the presidential race. Subsequently, Vice President Harris contacted Shapiro, focusing their discussion on two key points.
During their conversation, Harris sought Shapiro's endorsement, indicating a potential interest in his support. Additionally, the duo delved into strategies aimed at securing victory over Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, emphasizing the importance of the state in the political landscape.
